Seed pods for a tree or bush of some kind - I'm not sure what. They look like blueberries, but spikier.
Wild cucumber seed pods shot with dual flash units: built-in and off-camera unit at the top of the frame. I wanted to make the spikes more dramatic by using the flash units. I set the built-in flash to -1 and set the external unit to -0.5. I found that there are nearly an infinite number of variations in setting these flash values and moving the external unit closer or farther.

This sculpture simultaneously takes the form of a fruiting body and a book. Here it is shown in its collapsed form. Dimensions: 4.5” diameter, 8” length (when folded).

With any luck there'll be quite a few seeds to grow on!
Cardiocrinum are large bulbous perennials with heart-shaped leaves and trumpet-shaped flowers resembling lilies, followed by erect oblong seed capsules, as may be seen here in this image!
Monocarpic, the bulbs dying after flowering, but more are created at the base of the dying plant, which will flower in two years' time, thus making it almost deathless!

C. giganteum is a perennial to 2m in height, with leaves to 30cm across, and terminal racemes of fragrant, trumpet-shaped white flowers marked with purple within the mouth.
I do love it's dramatic appearance!
Husks of Spring blossoms, green Summer leaves and seed pods, pale yellow Fall leaves, and stems that will weather the Winter rains.
I've also been trying to get H. schizopetalus to set seeds. I've looked and looked and never found H. schizopetalus seeds for sale. One of my friends thinks that all H. schizopetalus in the US is the same clone, as he's also tried unsuccessfully to get it to set seed. This aborted on December 19, almost two weeks from pollination, which is about the best I've been able to get. This was pretty well filled, and had many developing seeds that I have put into culture. Eventually I want to convert H. schizopetalus to tetraploid, and seeds are the easiest way to do that.
Cynthia's new figure in wax. I don't know how the seed pods will come through in the bronze but they look very good now.
this is an Ashe magnolia pod, a lovely small endangered southern tree. Its leaves are enormous! They can be a foot wide & 3 feet long; the flowers are often 6" long, white, and smell wonderful. This one lives at my favorite nursery.
Some interesting looking seedpods and remaining red leaves of a shrub in winter.

I like how the Lumix was able to create
the DOF and in the B/W mode added to the "Botanical-ness"
of the subject- a dried seed pod

a bush
in a Chicagoans backyard.
A stunning purple seed pod, probably of Saraca sp. (Fabaceae), photographed at Darwin Botanic Gardens, Darwin, Australia. Few photos or species descriptions make reference to these brightly coloured seed pods, so if anyone can confirm the genus or identify to species, that would be greatly appreciated. The white spots on the pod appear to be mealy bugs of some sort, which are being attended by Green Tree Ants.
snow is gone (again, and hopefully for good), but nothing alive yet to take pictures of. Hopefully these guys did a good job last Fall, and there will be something growing in the woods soon.
Sterling silver.

Please see my profile for more info.
Dotted discs of sterling silver swing boldly from elegant handformed earwires. The gently curved discs have been oxidized and polished by hand to accentuate the raised texture and to give these earrings a well-worn quality. The discs measure just over 1" in diameter, and these earrings are approximately 1.75" in total length. 38
I've just returned from a trip to Maine & Massachusetts. One of six misc. photos. This photo was taken in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, USA on the Bridge of Flowers (July 10, 2016). Poppy is, always, one of my favorites! While I was there, a young man proposed to his girlfriend. Nice place to do so!
